No, the Dallas filesystem (embedded into the rather small memory of their
chips) is distinct from OWFS.
OWFS is a way of making the entire 1-wire bus be a virttual fil;esystem,
with uniquely numbered devices be directories and each property (like memory
or temperature) be a file.
That same design has been expanded to URLs, and direct access via network
and programming languages.
